I'm a bit disappointed with this product. It's flimsy and wobbly, and even though in the brochure picture it is fitted to what looks like a Ford Mondeo cigarette lighter, like mine, it doesn't fit well at all. Plus the phone weight will make the whole thing basically fall out of the socket. I had to make extra bracket to make it useful.

Olixar trailblazer advanced pro universal in car charger and holder

Good but could be better

Bought this charger as I wanted a charger that had adapter for iPhone 6 without having to take my own lead out with me every where. Item arrived within a few days but when fitting adapter snapped off was very disappointed so contacted mobile fun who told me to return the whole product did so had to wait over a week for new product to arrive but been using now for over a fortnight and am very pleased with this charger although it could be improved by having a longer stem as my placement of cigarette lighter is quite low so charger tends to move around whilst driving a small problem which I over came by resting it against the slightly opened ash tray works for me ! Otherwise a good little product would recommend

Oil at Trailblazer Advanced Pro Universal In-Car Charger and Holder

Flawed design - returned

This was bought to replace a 7 yr old Kensington equivalent no longer made. Unlike the Kensington this has a ball and socket joint at the junction of the power adaptor and the flexible metal rod to the phone holder. The added leverage of the weight of an iPhone 6 overpowers the friction of the ball and socket joint, even when tightened. So it just droops down. And that is before you even attempt to use the phone in situ. Tightening with a spanner very hard might work - but also might well strip the plastic thread. Mobilefun were great and easy to deal with in accepting a return. I have now installed a proper Brodit system (brilliant).

I find the mount a little rickety but totally usable. One word of warning, is that this probably targeted at Power Outlets mounted vertically. Mine is horizontal and trying to maneuver it so that it is visible, out of the way of the gear stick, and stays where it is - away from my legs - is a bit of a mission. I would say it is worth the money.

Poor, flimsy construction. Supplied charging cable does not work.
Do not buy.

Olixar Trailblazer Advanced Pro Universal In-Car charger and,holder

The Olixar Trailblazer is exactly what we need for our mobile phone and other devices in,the car. However, we have a small problem, which we hope to overcome. The 12V outlet in our Subaru Outback is positioned directly opposite the automatic gear shift lever and it is very difficult to shift the gear lever from P to R and then to drive. It is even more difficult going back to Park. We have to either bend the Olixar to one side or leave iit unconnected or leave in Neutral. We have now purchased a twin socket for our 12V outlet which also allows us to plug in a reversing camera. This addition makes it marginally better, we can now move the gear lever more easily, but has the tendency for whole assembly to rotate, especially when going around a corner.

Holds device when the roads not nice ...

This item allows one hand to install and remove device with ease. Holds it firmly even along the bumpiest of roads and tracks . Neat curly charging lead and bonus sub charging slot allows other device of alternative charger to be used whilst driving . Flexible shaft , adjustable ball and socket base gives ultimate positioning for safe easy use ... Legally . Great value for money .

It works best if the phone sits directly above the socket, however if you want it off to the side a bit, it will eventually rotate around with the weight of the phone.

Olixar Trailblazer

Quality / Value

Good quality, and value for money, takes care of holding and re-charging not just my phone but I should imagine, anyone else's who travels with me, due to the changeable charge heads.

Used twice a day for 8 months, the unit is no longer fit for purpose. There is a spring-loaded mechanism which pushes the clamps outwards when a button is pressed. You insert the phone and squeeze the clamps together with your fingers. This relies on a small gear and plastic teeth on the clamps which are very stiff in cold weather and have eventually given way, with the clamps now losing their grip.
For £12 (price I paid) it's not a bad purchase but I would be inclined to seek a more robust and expensive design in future.

MobileFun Reply:
By all means return it as you have a 12 month warranty.

Unit tends to be generally unstable especially when the weight of the phone is added. My power socket has a continuous power supply running to it which means I have to unplug the phone holder when not in use to prevent vehicle battery from becoming flat. An on / off switch built into the unit would be very useful. Wouldnt recommend this product.

As previous reviews have noted, the cigarette lighter plug is not strong enough to keep the unit from sagging, but I used a very small, short bungee cord to hook around the gooseneck to help support it, and so far, it has worked well. I am driving a 2015 GMC Savannah cargo van. It holds the phone well and in a position that I can easily see the screen and use the touch screen for phone calls (with my blue tooth) and navigation. So far, it works well and seems sturdy. The charging cord and variety of tips and the extra USB charging port are nice extras.
I did not get a confirmation on my order for 3 days, but it arrived fairly quickly.

Olixar TrailBlazer Advanced Pro etc

Not really up to the job....

I'm writing this as I had an email from Mobile Fun asking me too, so here are my findings...
To be honest, I don't know if the holder I'm looking for exists. I use an iPhone 5s which I use Tom Tom sat nav on. The iphone is in a Lifeproof Frē case. What I need is a a device to hold the iPhone in its case in my work van with the ability to charge whilst using as the Tom Tom app uses a lot of power. I also don't want a suction holder that has to stick to the van windscreen in order to keep the phone out of the sun to avoid it overheating as iPhones tend to.
This holder promises to be all these things. It is supported by the 12v socket and the stem can be bent to various angles and positions. The cradle itself is a squeeze and release set up that could fit multiple size devices.
The problem is, it just doesn't work that well and is fiddly. It is not very self supporting and so over time it says and flops about and is all a bit of a faff. I've had it a couple of weeks now and to be honest it's either going back or going in the bin, it's just too much of a pain to set right and use effectively.
Top marks for effort but not much for execution. Sorry, just being honest.

The device didn't sit firmly into the charging port in my Honda Jazz, meaning it wouldn't stay in place for very long. It was also not long enough to position the phone in the desired position. Would not recommend.

Great Service

The service was superb, from reading about the product,choosing, purchasing and getting it. Everything was quick and easy. The communications around this were great, I knew what was going on all the time. The product was here exactly when stated, which was very prompt. I will be using mobilefun again

I'm sorry to say that this product was certainly the most disappointing I have purchased from Mobile Fun.
The device will not hold the phone securely or firmly but is in fact very springy rendering it almost impossible to activate controls on the phone. Once the arm has been set it is almost impossible to re-align it without removing the complete unit from the lighter socket.
The biggest problem however lies with the clip at the rear that should lock the plate in the closed position.It doesn't. the slightest touch releases it and often just the natural vibrations from driving cause it to unlock and spin out of place.
Describing this item as rubbish is not a statement of emotion but rather one of fact. Waste of money.

Too flimsy

I though this looked like a good product, but after use I ended up buying something else.
Issues:
The weight of the phone and dock is too much to be supported by the cigarette lighter port and it was slightly flexing the dash around the port.
The attachment that actually holds the dock is a loose fit onto the flexible post, it doesn't lock and it has a lot of play causing the phone to shake and vibrate a lot during diving. The flexible post itself, is very stiff, but is long enough that it also shakes a lot. The whole setup seems unstable.
The built in charging port with all the adapters did not work. The USB port worked ok, but I liked the idea of a small built in port that did not require an extra cable and leaving a 2nd port free.
Would not recommend.

Not sure if its faulty but the phone holder doesn't stay attached to the arm, just slides out. My 12v socket is near the handbrake so have to have the phone in a more horizontal position, maybe that is the problem.

What I did not think about was the position within my VW Fox. I have trouble changing gear as I hit the phone and it falls over.

I have a Ford Focus 08 plate and the Cigar lighter is set back in a deep recess. At first I thought that I would have difficulties fitting the holder, but to my surprise, because of the 'swan neck' it is even steadier due to the support of the recess. A very handy piece of equipment. Thank you.

iPhone 4s and Tom Tom go 720

Needed something like this for years.

It does what it says on the web site.
At last we can use the phone and/or the Satnav. in the Toyota Celica. Air vents not suitable for traditional devices and no flat surfaces anywhere for suckers.
The goose neck is a little too stiff and needs to be adjusted by just holding that part itself. Worried that the actual holder would snap off if used to bend the neck. However, lots of other adjustment which compensates for this. Prompt service.

Trailblazer Advanced Pro Universal In-car charger and Holder.
I've used this product for a little less than one month. It started out nice and snug. Within a week of usage however, the gooseneck tube has become very loose, so that whenever I attach my phone (Nexus 5, not a very heavy phone I'd say) the weight of the phone causes it to slip/slide at the end where it's attached to the charger. It's not a problem with the ball and adjustable cog end, that itself is tight. It's the attachment between the bendable tube and it's base piece that get's loose. The result is I have to use my knee/leg to keep the phone in place and everytime I extend to apply the clutch the phone slips down.
Also, this is not an ideal device for using on a VW Golf (2000) or for that matter any car where the charge port is very close to the gear lever, as you have to fight with the surrounding area to put the pin in the 1.2A port.

I wanted a holder and charger that didn't require a dashboard, vent or window fixing and this one seemed to fit the bill. By fitting directly in the charger socket its surprisingly rigid and in my car (a VW CC) it is ideally placed close at hand and not in the way of anything. While the charger comes up on the phone as not supported - it does however work and charges my iPhone 5 fine. It also has a extra USB socket to charge another device at the same time. It may not suit every car depending on the charger socket location but as the arm is flexible and rotates it should fit most.

Great product

I bought this mount as I didn't want anything else stuck to the screen. None of the vent mounts seemed suitable for a Mk3 Focus, so this looked like an answer. It fits very tightly into the socket on the console,there is no shake or wobble in use, and the phone is held securely in place. I've had no issues with it moving. The charging cable fits well, and there are a variety of adapters supplied. As a bonus, it allows use of the USB socket to run a satnav, or charge my mp3 player.

I have a VW Passat 2003 1.9TDI and unfortunately , this charger does not fit very well, as they cig lighter is close to the gearstick and the arm on the charger is not long enough to escape the gear stick.

This product is absolutely great for cars that have an electric socket on the dashboard console. However, if like me, your socket is on the centre console next to the handbrake and gear stick then do not buy it. I found it difficult to change gears or use the handbrake whilst it was plugged in.

Genius!

This car charger and holder is genius. I've been looking for something like this for ages and now I've found it. It is exactly what I need. Plugs into the 12V socket in the dash and the arm bends up to hold either of my phones securely. It also charges both of my 2 phones or my phone and my wife's at the same time. Comes with lots of charging adapters to charge most phones currently available too which is great. Thank you MobileFun :)

Ideal size and adjust-ability to fit power socket in car.
Would benefit from on / off switch so does have to be partially removed when not in use so therefore only 4 stars

Trailblazer car charger and holders

Product idea is excellent. Unfortunately the length of the arm from the plug in point is not long enough and so makes it awkward to fit in my car.

We'll brought this item for my husband for Christmas, so still in the rapper at the moment. But with only 4 weeks to go till Christmas and 13 days till his birthday this is the only item I have brought so far! So I'm sure he will like it very much, I brought as the pic looks like the same radio he has in his car, and we do long drives down to Cornwall. Looking forward to using it very soon.

Bought as a holder for a Lumia 820 in my SAAB 9-3 estate 07 plate.
This item is pretty good for the price and prevents having long wires everywhere crossing the controls and steering wheel. The stem isn't as long as I expected, however the plug and stem appear pretty robust and solid. The phone is ideally situated being close at hand, I would imagine if you have a small screen then the position could take your eyes off the road a little too long. Whilst it didn't intefere with the gear stick I do knock it occasionally when going to change gear. The plug is tight fitting in the lighter and I imagine this is designed as such to minimise any movement, so you have to ensure it is fully inserted so as to charge. The unit head rotates and the bendy stem gives you various positioning options. Only occasionally used so far so I can't comment on durablity.
In summary it's great for the price, no wires dangling, feels solid and conveniently placed. The only real weakness is that the stem could do with being a little longer. I would recommend as a good budget option.

This little beauty charges both my phones simultaneously, holds one for hands-free operation and fits on the gap under the ashtray like it was designed for it. It was advertised as a holder and a charger, and it still leaves a USB connection free for other bits like the SatNav!

Works Pretty Good

Didn't want the vent car phone holders because I heard they can break your vents with too much weight from the heavier smartphones. Used a cup holder device for a year but constantly having to fix the thing as it would lose it's tension. Do like this phone holder. Using it in a Toy Tacoma. Perhaps not the most convenient as the arm could be a little longer and it does get in the way of the two cup holders but I can work around it. It holds the phone securely but on some roads it does bounce. When it bounces a lot I've noticed the arm starts to fall slowly. The arm is held in place by a "ball in socket" set up and it probably could be a little more tight. Overall, it's worth it as I've freed up my 3rd front cup holder which is away from this device and I'm not potentially breaking a vent, nor am I blocking a vent, or hassling with my phone mounted to the window.

Good product

I've found the unit I bought to work well with, in my own case, just one minor fault: the movable link between the charger and the phone could be longer. This variation would make viewing the screen a little easier; my car's cigar lighter is fitted out of range of normal vision. Otherwise, I'm delighted...

Purchased it for the new Sony Z1, but the phone itself is too heavy for this charger/holder. With the weight of the phone whilst in the holder, the 'bendy' pipe from the cigarette lighter to the phone holder drops down and will not stay upright.
I would say this charger/holder would be OK for smaller / lighter phones, but for the Sony Z1 (as advertised) it's pretty useless.

It does exactly what it should do, it holds my phone for viewing and charges it . easy to fit and works well

Best on the market.

Havent seen a better holder/charger on the market than this one.It's secure and doesnt rely on sticking the holder onto the window which inevitably falls off or they take it off at MOT (in my experience - obstruction to driver view). The grips open up wide enough to go horizontal and go tight enough to secure your phone. Space for charger cable. Cant fault this product.

The Photo shows this being used in a Ford S max. Perfect as that's the Car I have. The Only problem is the cigarette lighter connector need to be a little longer as the then hits the door where it is to be fitted. Which means that it keeps loosing connection when charging and just doesn't fit correctly. If they could make approx. 5mm longer this would Not be an issue and would be absolutely Perfect every thing else about this product is great the range of plugs for the different phones etc.

I needed a holder to put in my Landrover Freelander. This car has all its space taken up with gadgets and gee-gaws and there really isn't much space to place a mounting. The TrailBlazer Advanced Pro Universal Car Charger and Holder seemed ideal - combining a charger cable for my Samsung (and also my iPod) as well as a sep USB port and more importantly being able to sit in the space between the seats. Worked great for placement but I had a small issue with the cable. Contacted Mobilefun who immediately issued a return (no quibble) and then when I returned the original shipped the new immediately as well. Excellent customer service.
The holder is now working perfectly and importantly fits !

Not just a must have gadget, it really is useful, and you cannot argue about the price for this quality bit of kit.
Neat way of holding your sat nav and charging it without a gaggle of wires everywhere and charge a iPhone or iPod etc at the same time. It was recommended to me by a friend and I highly recommend it to you.

Samsung Galaxy S3

Works a treat

Not much to say, stick the jobby in the cigarette lighter input, plug the cable into the phone and away you go.
Doesn't come with a USB cable, but I'd say everyone has a spare one hanging around.
Charges my S3 which my old car charger didn't.

...because my 4S weighted it down as it disorient plug in nice and tight, so it spins round and thus probably making your phone fall out or a distraction during driving.
Also I tried to reposition the very stiff goose neck to help balance it out, but the holder just broke off. Now I have a speared in car charger and holder (that doesn't fit onto anything now).
Oh and like other have mentioned, the charging cable is also too loose so it can keep slipping out.
Worst product I've bought for here.
Excellent mobile Fun delivery as usual though.

I had hoped to use this with my truck Sat Nav as the screen mounts keep giving up due to sun, I think.
Have still to try it in my car with my car Sat Nav which is smaller and lighter.
Will try it with my Samsung S4 Mini if one of the leads fits it and when I have a truck with more than one suitable socket that actually works!

Excellent dual-use product.

Excellent item which works well in both my car and the bus I drive. Only minor quibble would be that it's not too stable (wobbles about a bit) in the 24 Volt input in the bus but perfectly OK in the car.

best thing for phones

I am really pleased with the product that I received I have got it in my lorry that I drive at night time and it is really good because you can place see the display on your phone without taking your hands off the steering wheel and it can charge your phone as well

Great gadget

Fabulous gadget; flexible mounting; mobile charging and available for use at same time as operating my satnav.
After a few months a problem developed with one of the connections, MobileFun replaced the item with no quibbles and no cost to me for posting etc, very efficient. Recommended for product and after-sales service.

Brilliant gadget

What a brilliant and reasonably priced gadget for holding and also charging my mobile phone. With usb adapter on gadget I can also charge my satnav at the same time.

I really like to to fact you can charge whilst driving, it's handy next to you, and the short lead from phone to charge means no dangling dangerous wires. Also can charge other device..sat nav at same time. Also holds sat nav so double usage for one price. Does what it says...ideal

Apologies

I posted a rather negative review 3/4 weeks ago re the trailblazer. I want to clear up a couple of points.
(a) I was being too gentle with goose neck.
(b) For the price it's a bargain I don't know what I would do without it.

Advanced Pro Universal Car Charger and Holder Almost Perfect

Scope of review is limited to the holder and does not include comments about the Nokia 925 GPS app. The holder design matches perfectly with the Nokia 925 device. The only downside is the supplied charging connector. It has to be forced into the 925 to keep from becoming easily disconnected. Hopefully, it has not damaged the 925. The knurled knob to keep the weight of the from moving has to be really tightened up, which requires caution to keep from causing any damage or breaking. Otherwise the holder is a great design.

Almost Perfect

I was really looking forward to getting the TrailBlazer Advanced Pro Universal Car Charger and Holder as it was going to allow me to use sat nav on the iPhone.
The product is being used by me, but it doesn't get 5 stars for 2 reasons.
1. The bending arm piece is just a little shorter than I expected
2. The bit that goes into the Ligther Charger, doesn't fit perfectly and feels like it doesn't sit true in it.
That said, it is a decent product for the cost.

TrailBlazer Advanced Pro Universal Car Charger and Holder

Neat soultion to holding phone

I wanted something to hold my iPhone 5 phone both securely and in my vision without putting it on the windscreen or on the dash vent. This may not be ideal solution for all cars depending on the position of the charger socket, and in fact due to the ashtray cover in my car it only allows one reasonably suitable option. The arm however is quite flexible but secure when tightened so it should in fact manage to fit most cars. The charger cable comes with sockets for iPhone 4 and 5 (+ others) and even when fitted a USB socket is still available. So as not to lose the other adaptors in the glove compartment I used the plastic packing to create a makeshift tray so that the other ones not in use are easily found.

Basically, I wanted hands free for my iphone 5, in a Vauxhall Astra 2011 model, where the lighter socket is deep in the consile recess.
I bought:
1. Trailblazer advances pro iniversal car charger and holder.
2. Jabra Cruiser2 speaker phone which clips onto sun visor.
RESULTS:
The trailblazer is great as you can bend the goose eye to position the housing spot on. Good adjusts on bracket. Well designed.
I now have total hands free phone as I use siri for speach and FM to direct all audio through my car speakers.
Wicked stuff

The device is far from " fit any car" The device has fallen out twice when I have been driving. I have to use a cable tie to keep it in place.In my opinon the device is made for a lighter holder that is flat either beside the handbrake or flush with the dashboard. In all I am disappointed with the purchase and would be reluctant to recommend it to anyone.

Missing Parts.

I received my TrailBlazer today and all was well until, I noted the package description clearly states 7 (SEVEN) tips. My unit only had 4 (FOUR)
I am rating the unit purely on it's actual performance but, I am disappointed at the discrepancy in tip description and the actual amount on arrival.

Absolute rubbish. The lightening connector broke off as I was trying to set it up. I was able to use it with a lightening / USB cable so I carried on. I have used it for about a week and the arm has come lose and will not support the weight of the holder and phone. Would send it back for a refund but my time is more valuable than that.

Great product and after service

I was delighted with the performance of my Universal Car Charger and Holder. Unfortunately after several months a fault developed. Having contacted Mobilefun their returns procedure was efficient and timely. At no cost to me, except for the price of an envelope, the replacement
was forwarded just a few days later.
Brilliant!

Samsung Galaxy S3

Not worth the money

I've now had 2 of these and
First: they have both stopped working. I've changed the fuses, no good. checked the fuses, they're all okay.
Second: the socket where the power cord plugs in, disappears inside. You can dismantle the charger and put it back in place, but should you have to?
Third: the screw ring that tightens the swivelling ball has cracked, therefore applying no pressure and the cradle just flops down
Fourth and finally: the combined weight of the unit and phone puts too much pressure on the lighter socket and damages it.
Now looking for alternatives!

Iphone5

Disappointing product quality

It was of poor quality. It fitted loosely in the 12 volt socket of my VW Caddy. The USB cable fitted loosely in socket and so did the USB cable from my sat nav. The whole set up looked and performed poorly. I finished up giving this product away and sending for a dual USB socket from Mobilefun at three times the price and quality to match. Message to Mobilefun: good delivery is one of the factors of company performance but product quality must match good delivery for excellent company performance. Don't. Recommend the product .

This is the first product I have purchased from here which I am not happy with. It is fiddly to fit to a Kia Pro Cee'd and, once the phone is in place, the adapter is pushed down in the socket and loses power. It isn't going to work without some sort of modification which you shouldn't have to do. Bad design in my opinion.

Overall I'm pleased with the charger/holder. There a couple of things though that could be improved. There is quite a lot of movement because of the way it fits into the cigarette lighter. Also there is quite a lot of noise when the charging socket is in although the volume of my music cancels this out. It is easy to position and it is easy to release my mobile.

Does what it says on the tin

Easy to put together and adjust to suit your car and your viewing preferences - "simples". No instructions needed, well I am a man and wouldn't have read them anyway. Made of plastic but seems robust and my phone is held securely despite having to go over speed bumps in work every day. Love the varied and comprehensive assortment of adapters supplied. Well worth the money for all that it costs.

iPhone 4S

As Advertised

As a solution to having several components together to present my iPhone so that it is visible and useable this actually works. Good quality build and works as advertised. In my Focus the position could be a little higher which would need a longer 'goose neck'

I have tried and tried and tried but I just can't find a way to use this in my car that provides a solid, safe and convenient mounting for my phone. One problem is the ball and joint socket at the holder end is a bit wobbly. I will see if a friend would like to use it in their Volvo which has a vertical centre-dash AUX power socket while I will go back to using a cheap holder gaffa-taped to my old Garmin weighted bean-bag.

iPhone 4s

simple, easy and works well

i brought this based on the previous vast amounts of reviews.
works well and does the job of holding your phone in and on charge on comfortable view within the dashboard area hidden away and out of sight
using on vertical dashboard lighter socket - great but slight movement but i know that all it takes is a little adjustment with a thin slip of plastic to stop it wriggling around.
slight weight on the lighter socket but again this is overcome by bending the goose neck slightly backwards before bending the top so the phone is top back bottom forward so the weight is pushing the unit back into the socket
last note is the connectors - if you have a cover on the the casing on the iphone connector is thicker then the standard iphone cable so the casing stops the connector from fully going in, in my case i had to take the cover of completely - but problem solved easily as i had another iphone cable which i just use to connect so no need for the spares.

Great idea for your mobile..fits perfectly in my Polo & built-in charger is great.Don't know how i managed without this..thankyou..

Not perfect but.....

This is quite a clever thing in that it is very adjustable and configurable for lots of different locations and phones. But it does tend to swivel about on the cigar socket when you drive around corners. I don't think it would work on a horizontal socket as the weight of the phone would just swing downwards.

Not suitable for me.

Whilst I found the product well made, I was unable to fit the charger into an Audi A4 without interfering with the gear lever. The gooseneck and "L" shapes iphone holders have therefore been discarded and I use the remainder of the device solely for charging.

Slightlyy disappointed

Description very good.
Delivery excellent
Video first class.
Slight problem, my Car is a Ford Scorpio with a full nokia phone system. This is to upgrade the phone system
The fitting into the Cigarette lighter is not a good one and not firm enough
It works OK but rattles a bit
and does not keep very still.

I ordered this item on Friday and received it the next morning. Excellent service. The charger works fine and the holder (which would be handier if it was a bit more flexible) does the job. However, for the price, it is good value for money and I would recommend it.

Must have for every car

This is a fantastic device that everyone must have as it is a life saver. I have purchased 4 of these for family and friends. Makes a useful and ideal gift at a very reasonable price.

I Bought this based on the video review posted on you tube. Totally useless.
The Iphone cannot be charged using the usb connection
The adjustable neck isn't strong enough to hold the iphone in position
The male connector needs to be re-designed as it doesn't fit tightly into the 12v charger and constantly need pushing back in.
AVOID AVOID AVOID
If there was a negative mark I would have picked that, 1 star is too many.

Galaxy S, Clip & talk bluetooth carkit V3+

Recommended

Good bit of kit when being used with my smartphone & the bluetooth V3+ clip on car kit.
Can highly recommend despite it only arriving day after it was ordered it has been used in 4 different vehicles already & have found it invaluable. Dont know how I ever managed to cope without it.

Charger only worked intermitently, and the holder wasnt appropriate for use in my car as it got in the way when i went to change gears. Think it is a good design and would work well in different vehicles but it was suitable for me and as i said would only charge intermitently so have sent it back and still awaiting refund!

HTC Desire S

Very good, but needed a bit of packing

After signing up for a new HTC Desire S I started looking around for a good phone holder for the car. I have seen quite a few online and of freinds but was not keen on any of them. I don't like the ones you stick on the windscreen as I feel they obscure the view and are generally out of easy reach. I also did not like the ones that clip in the vents as this will obviously impare their operation. The Trailblazer looked like the perfect solution for my Rover 25 so I bought one.
The item arived reasonably quickly and I got straight to work assembling it and fitting the correct micro-USB adapter for my phones charging port. The 12V socket in my car is mounted horizontally, emerging from just below the radio. With careful bending I was able to crank the flexible swan neck of the Trailblazer to position the holder just to the left of all the radio and vent controls, perfectly reachable without stretching and at a good height. For my car its below dash level but I do not find this an issue.
Unfortunately there is one slight issue with the Trailblazer. Although the flexible neck is lockable and the phone holder itself can also be locked at any angle, allowing you to quickly switch the orientation from portrate to landscape, the fix in the lighter socket is just not tight enough. On my first tight bend at reasonable speed the phone and holder rotated slowly round in the socket to end up upside down in the foot well. I would say that the ligher adapter is better than most chargers as it has four sprung clips on the outside of the barel, but these will not hold even a lightish phone like an HTC Desire S in the horizontal position when going around bends. If the ligher socket was vertical this would not happen.
I have however fixed this with a bit of light card from a cereal packet. I put the card just under the sprung outer contacts to make a very tight and snug fit in the ligher socket, and now its rock steady.
All in all I like this holder. It is infinitely variable for positioning and so can put the phone pretty much where you want it, quickly and easily. I like the holder rotate facility, which is good when you want to use the phone for Satnav. The phone release mechanism from the holder is very good, quick and easy, while in the holder its firm and secure. The only improvement would be stronger lighter socket contacts to prevent rotation.

Samsung Tocco Icon & Tomtom Satnav

''Just what I needed, but!''

I ordered this item after carring out quite a bit of research on it and thought that it would be the answer to all my in car problems. Well, initially I thought it was the case but, after carrying out installation using my phone, which was first class, I tried my TomTom and, alas, it did not fit. The satnav was too big to fit in the cradle, so it's back to the drawing board for the satnav problem.
